Both the equatorial and tropical regions experience high temperatures. But salinity is not highest au the equator.
At the equator there is more cloud cover enabling lessening of evaporation as compared to the tropics. Thus evaporation is more in the tropics.
By the way, daily rainfall in equatorial regions cause high relative humidity. At the same time, relative humidity is low near the tropics. This again means that evaporation is higher at the tropics than equator.
Thus salinity trend to be more in the tropical areas than equatorial areas.
